Most of the trash your seeing on the sides of the road are actually from blowing out of the back of trash collection trucks, I see it happening every week on my street, worse as their dumping the cans and especially if the wind is blowing.....people throwing that much trash out their car window is just not possible.
You think that's bad, take a photo of property around the recycle facility on Foskey Lane in Delmar. If I owned the property someone would be in court.
An initial $50 fine for dumping trash along a roadway? That doesn't even begin to discourage offenders or cover the costs involved in the state or county giving out the citation. They need to come up with a number that does both, then put the hammer down a few times.
Not only trash trucks. Open pickup trucks, too, and there are a thousand times more of those than trash trucks.
Amazing how you can throw some trash into the bed of the truck and by the time you get home, the trash is gone!
When was the last time Delaware looked at the fine? $50 and a few hours of community service is a joke.
I agree about the small fine. I think that 25 hours of trash pick up along roads would stop this crap.
There's no excuse for trash trucks to lose any part of their loads - they're supposed to be either enclosed or covered. Personally, I think that 99% of what we see on the roadsides are from individuals in personal vehicles and pickups.
Fines are not the answer. More laws is not the answer . Here is a whimsical thought. Dump stickers and multiple drop off sites for the largest county in Delaware. The system in place right now IS the problem.

I agree. It should be a criminal offense.
Slower Lower Delaware is just like Salisbury.
Only slower.
Bring back the stocks outside the courthouses; put the offenders on display based on their sentences.
